Amalaya Malbec, 2015

It’s been a few years since we picked up a bottle of Amalaya. Why? I have no idea. It’s an inexpensive extremely palatable crowd pleaser that even pleases the pointsters. From Salta, Argentina’s version of Atacama, it’s a dark, luscious sipper with a thick, balsamic feel on the tongue, and some charred chocolate and licorice on the finish. Readily available across BC, the online description touts raspberry, graphite and black olives, none of which popped for us. That said, this is spectacular “BC value” if you know what I mean.
